Hello Everyone, For all those who have been following my progress I want you to know that I am doing extremely well. I feel like I was born again and given a chance at a new life. Before surgery it was hard for me to do much. Today, it is hard to keep me home as I have so much to do. I encourage all that are considering this surgury to do what ever they can to find out all the information pertaining to themselves on this surgery and with the backing with your doctors go for it only if you are commited to having a new life and are willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES. I am and it has paid off in the long run. Also, make sure you have a support system in place as the first few weeks are the hardest. I want to thank all those who sent me well wishes and who have been there for me. Especially, my angel Susan Townsend and my Doctor Eric Freidman. I welcome email from those who need support and have questions. God Bless to all!!
